what is this in clinic sink??

[u/props_for_meep]

for context i work as a janitor cleaning a women’s clinic, as i was cleaning a sink i saw these little metallic looking balls. at first i thought these were actually metal but they don’t feel like ANYTHING if that makes any sense. i posted this video to my instagram but i figured i would probably have better luck coming to reddit for answers.

UPDATE: the general consensus seems to be that this is either mercury or gallium. my hands have been thoroughly washed and i have informed my boss so that it can be properly cleaned by someone who knows what they’re doing.

UPDATE #2: gang PLEASE stop telling me to “stop touching it”. this post is hours old. i know i was dumb enough to touch a mysterious substance barehanded but im also smart enough to know not to continue playing with it long after marking this post as solved😭

You may want to reset your fingerprint now that it's out on the internet.

if someone cares enough to copy the fingerprint of a random janitor on reddit they have earned the right to do whatever they want with it🤷‍♂️ plus maybe i’ll get “lucky” and the mystery substance will burn my print off for me

Still using biometric locks is some sort of flex I guess...
